The previously introduced software Sequencer identifies number sequences algorithmically. The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) is by far the largest collection of curated number sequences available today. It therefore seems natural to employ Sequencer in a quest to uncover patterns that have been previously overlooked, by virtue of sheer… » Read more

Because of their connections with public-key cryptography, trapdoor functions are surrounded by a lot of mystery. While one-way functions (functions that are easy to compute, yet hard to invert) like integer multiplication are familiar and intuitive, the idea of a function that is hard to invert except if one possesses… » Read more

Sequencer identifies number sequences. That is, given a list of numbers like $$(a_n)_{n\geq 1} = 1,\; 2,\; 4,\; 8,\; 16,\; 32,\; \ldots$$ it finds a formula that generates them, in this case $$a_n = 2^{n-1}$$ Sequencer employs neither a library of sequences nor a limited set of… » Read more
